[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 7700244, member: 22779"] I believe there's a fallacy in there. You are looking for an absolute where none exists. "Any"? No, of course not. I would hope that the overwhelming majority of issues can be resolved without involving lawyers. Of course. But, just because some disagreements can be handled without lawyers does not automatically mean that all should be. Note, your example doesn't follow since your disagreement does no harm to me whatsoever. So, it would be impossible, outside of formal debate I suppose, for a neutral party to get involved. However, if the complaint here is found to be valid, then harm is actually being done. We have labor laws for a reason. If this actually was an employer/employee situation, then, there are all sorts issues that come in. Minimum wage for one, a law which exists for several very good reasons. Earlier someone mentioned the idea of going on strike. However, as volunteers, you cannot form a labor union, only employees can do that. Thus, the volunteers are being denied their right to group arbitration. Never minding things like health care benefits, unemployment insurance issues, etc. etc. There are a huge number of ways that WotC could be harming all the judges. If the complaint is proven valid, then WotC is doing harm to thousands of people. Since you insist on putting this in moral terms, do you not have a moral imperative to determine the truth of that? If harm is, in fact, being done, are you not morally compelled to step up and protect others? Simply walking away does nothing to resolve the issue for anyone else. WotC simply replaces you and moves on, continuing to harm thousands of people. OTOH, the suit could be thrown out and WotC has done nothing wrong. Fantastic. Everyone's happy. Either way, how is it not ethically imperative to determine the truth? [/QUOTE]
